Ask your skin specialist for advice about electrolysis for many other treatable skin conditions such as: sebaceous cysts, age spots, xanthelasma and other blemishes.
Note: Some blemishes require a GP’s written consent prior to treatment.
Electrolysis (permanent hair removal):
From £50 per 15 mins
Electrolysis is a method of removing individual hairs from the face or body. Today’s medical electrolysis devices destroy the growth centre of the hair with chemical or heat energy. After a very fine probe is inserted into the hair follicle, the hair is removed with tweezers.
This procedure is recommended for anyone with grey, light blonde or red hair, with a few unwanted, stubborn hairs.

Advanced Cosmetic Procedures
What actually happens in advanced cosmetic procedure?
The tip of the finest, smallest probe possible (about the size of an eyelash) is introduced along the line of the capillary and a tiny energy current is discharged. This ‘dries up’ and destroys the vessel which often disappears as it is being treated. Further treatments may be necessary depending on the severity of the problem.
In the case of skin tags the current destroys the vessels ‘feeding’ the blemish ‘starving’ it of nourishment resulting in its eventual demise.
Will my blemishes return?
The treated blemish will not return but others may occur depending on the root cause. Your skin specialist will advise you during consultation.
How long does it take and how many treatments will I require?
ACP treatments are safe and effective and offer instantaneous results in many cases. Length of treatment very much depends on the problem and your skin specialist will advise you of this although it is difficult to state a definitive time.
The area worked on must not be over treated and your skin reactivity will be taken into account. Spacing technique and treatment intervals will be carefully considered in a treatment plan by the professional as well as taking into account your requirements, needs and wishes
How much does it cost?
You pay for the length of time you are treated with a minimum of 15 minutes. The price varies depending on the clinic, area and equipment.
The skin specialist will be pleased to offer you a consultation and price estimat
Mixing electrolysis methods
The method chosen is a decision the skin specialist will make and will be determined by the blemish(es), condition of the skin, client compatibility and equipment.
